Infrastructure Contributions Plan up and running

The VPA is pleased to report that Infrastructure Contributions Plans (ICPs) can now be employed by all growth area councils.

Minister Wynne today gazetted the Ministerial Direction on the Preparation and Content of Infrastructure Contributions Plans and published the Infrastructure Contributions Plan Guidelines, establishing the new levy system for Melbourne’s growth areas.

Infrastructure Contributions Plans are based on standard levies that are able to be applied to various development settings and land uses, creating certainty for councils and developers.

They will be quicker and more cost-effective to prepare in comparison to the former Development Contributions Plans.

The VPA will now be preparing Infrastructure Contributions Plans for PSPs currently being undertaken. For any queries about this, please contact the relevant PSP project manager.

Infrastructure Contributions Plans for regional areas and the established parts of Melbourne will be announced at a later date.  More information on the new ICP system can be found here.
